The two-novella apocalyptic winter series is now in one book!
WAITING OUT WINTER
Nick and the boys return from the summer’s last hunting trip to find the streets empty, the beachfront and park abandoned, and the windows of their own homes boarded shut.
The hunters have become the hunted, in an apocalyptic plague that pits man against beast—very tiny beasts. And Nick is determined to keep his strength, courage, and family alive during what could very well be the last winter of their lives.
THE HATCH
Heading toward presumed safety, the survivors quickly find all exit points blocked, the perimeter burned, and learn the flies were only the beginning. Mother Nature has stepped in to correct mankind’s mistakes. Her weapon of choice: spiders.
Fleeing in a new direction they run into another party of survivors. And what was once a breakdown of society becomes an exercise in rebuilding. They’ll need to find common ground and bond with the others, before winter arrives again.
Before the spiders declare victory…

Praise for WAITING OUT WINTER
“Owen uses the [claustrophobic apocalypse survival tale] to produce a taut, tense, and often sad tale of loss and desperation… that will both haunt and break your heart. I can’t recommend it enough.”
~ October Country
“…it plays out so realistically and understated that you almost don’t realize you’re getting a slim sermon while being frightened…”
~ Shock Totem
“…filled to the brim with awesome characters, brilliant set-ups, and brutally gross descriptions in all the right places. This is the definition of a great piece of short fiction.”
~ Dreadful Tales
“…an amazing story …this has become one of my favorites. It’s suspenseful, creepy and very descriptive. If you’re looking for a fun read that leaves you feeling a little uneasy, I highly recommend Waiting Out Winter.”
~ The Crow’s Caw
“…Packs a huge punch that belies its size …worthy of mention are Owen’s skill at toying with reader expectations and the unyielding tension throughout the story from the first sentence to the very last.”
~ Shroud Magazine Book Reviews
Praise for THE HATCH
“…a must read for all lovers of horror and science fiction.”
~ Cat After Dark
“A handful of wonderfully diverse characters, some that light up a room and one in particular who could single-handedly bring about a total eclipse on a bright, sunny day.”
~ Frank Errington, Horrible Book Reviews
“Kelli Owen makes both the threat and her characters real, which makes the entire work even scarier.”
~ Scott, Goodreads
